Comment:

This was an interesting class, you must pay attention and I would recommend going to every class, especially if you want the extra credit for attending. The tests you definitely must put studying time into. The first time you go the whole class votes on how many tests the class will have. Must write one paper, not too bad. I would recommend taking.

A nice lady, however very unorganized. Every class she would show up and ask us what we did the past week. We didn't even get through the all the chapters she planned on the syllabus. Easy to pass but if you want to learn, take Montes.

She is so crazy!!! She doesn't want us to have a good score. She got all the questions for the exams somewhere up in the air. She took them from the text of someone else, not in our text book. DO NOT TAKE HER.

I took her 8 week course both for micro and macro.I HIGHLY recom. you do the same. As a bus major, these classes are mandatory and could get them done in one semester. I though the class was going to be hard bu in fact it was quite easy.She lets you decide how many tests/quiz/ you want for the class. Nice and smart.booksforyou61@yahoo.com for book

Teaches you everything needed to pass the class. A lot of the material is useful to understanding current news events. Pay attention and take good notes. I'm happy to take her again for Micro Econ.

Comment:

Had her for both Macro & Micro Economics. I got an "A" both times. What's my secret? Take good notes, ask questions, read assigned textbook pages, and do all extra credit. You should get an "A" focusing on those keypoints. She is very knowledgeable and you'll learn a lot in the class.

Econ 120 + 121 : Highly recommended. Take good notes and you dont have to buy or read a book. Lots of extra credit can be earned. Easy to get A if you really pay attention.

Comment:

She is a great Economics teacher. Her class consist of a lot of math, so if you are not good at math, than pay attention and study and you will do just fine. She is late sometimes, but no big deal because you can use that time to go over your notes.

Comment:

Everyone is right about her being late sometimes, but I have learned what i needed to from her. I read the textbook alot and find the class interesting and entertaining. We have only take 1 test so far, but i got a 98% so it was easy for me. But again i read the entire chapter for all of the chapters that were on the test.

Comment:

She showed up 20 minutes + to lecture every day. Givses little information regarding assignments due. She is LAZY and cuts and pastes test questions from other econ books, so the tests are not given in the learning style from the book you read. Notes are sloppy.

Comment:

She teaches economics using calculations and graphs so be ready for a lot of math. She's good at it but I would have rather learned more about the theories behind economics than how to calculate something I'll never have to calculate again after this class. But if you're a business or econ major definitely take her. If not, maybe take someone else.

Comment:

Highly recommended. She's really good at showing us how economics applies in the real world. And if you dont understand she'll explain in other ways until you get it. I'm actually thinking about changing my major from Sociology to Economics becuase of her. As for her tests, they're easy m.c. as long as you take good notes in class.

Teaches way too fast and material is difficult to grasp. An advantage is that she usually comes late to class and dismisses students early.

This teacher is really good, she shows how things apply in the real world. Makes difficult concepts easy to understand. I really enjoyed her class, highly recommend that other students that are not sure if they like economics take her class. My new major is Economics & Poly Sci.

Comment:

Although knowledgeable & a good explainer, she often wandered off-topic and wasted too much time on topics unrelated to the course. Tests were too easy. She was often late to class. She missed a class with no explanation. The 1st day of class she was 25 mins. late and were not ready with the syllabus (she left to make copies for 1/2 an hour)
